After 15 days on the boat sailing across the Atlantic we’d finally arrived to our destination of Horta, on the Island of Faial in the Azores. We were so eager to get off the boat and go exploring. We’d sailed to different islands before, hopping around in the Caribbean but we felt like this was […] More
We left you last week having sailed ~800nm of the Atlantic Ocean and this week we pick right back up where we left off! We went for 2 days without touching the Hydrovane to change course and then Adam took the reigns to make sure we still had a working rudder…and almost for something to […] More
After a favourable weather window appeared for crossing the Atlantic, we got down to business and put a hold on exploring Bermuda. The day arrived and we headed out into beautiful sailing conditions. Despite the fantastic weather, we were both feeling a little nervous as a result of our last disastrous Atlantic Ocean crossing attempt… […] More
After our disastrous attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean a few years ago, it started to dawn on us that we were going to try it again… very soon. We had officially arrived in Bermuda after a 6 days sail from St Martin, with LOTS of leaks, a few broken blocks and plenty of caulking […] More
Last year in St Martin we began the process of Re-Rigging our sailboat in preparation for crossing to Bermuda. We did all of the work ourselves and used Sta-lok fittings on the lower ends of the stays once they were cut to length. At the time we could only afford to do the Backstay, Baby-stay […] More

When we started filming our journey it wasn’t just to share our adventure but we also also hoped that we were adding some value to people watching, whether it be that we made them smile and brightened their day, or that we made a huge mistake then fixed it, and they could learn from that […] More
Installing a Serpentine belt on a Balmar-6 series 100 Amp alternator and a Dinghy Repair for good measure! After our brief stay in the marina we noticed we were pretty deficient in quality docking lines so we decided it was high time to upgrade our ragged old ones for some shiny new line. Khiara made […] More

This week we left beautiful Saline island on the east coast of Carriacou bound for Tyrell Bay. While hauling anchor, I had a mishap while on anchor duty and had to get saved by Adam. We anchored for a few days to catch a weather window that was perfect for sailing south towards Grenada. Before […] More
In this episode we got yet another taste of boat life at its finest! We finally made the journey to Saline island off the coast of Carriacou, Grenada and it did not disappoint! We had sailed passed this island at least 5 times during our time in Grenada. Along the way around to Saline island […] More
We finally took Millie out for a sail, (she was looking at us longingly when we raced on Adrianna1 the other week) and she did great! We left from Tyrell bay in Carriacou to Anse la Roche. The new (to us) traveller worked really well and we had a great day of just sailing for […] More
